HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
JULY 13, 2026
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a meeting of the Health & Safety Committee was held on
Monday, July 13, 2026, at 800 Borner St., Prescott, WI 54021.
1. Call to Order/Roll Call: Meeting was called to order by Chair Dar Hintz at 5:00 PM. Members
present were Dar Hintz, Maureen Otwell, and Bailey Ruona. Representing was City
Administrator Matt Wolf, Clerk Rashel Temmers, and Police Chief Eric Michaels. Also present
was Mayor Michael Gerke
2. Approval of Health and Safety Committee Minutes from May 11, 2026.
Committee Member Ruona motioned to approve the minutes from May 11, 2026, seconded
by Committee Member Otwell. Motion passed unanimously by a voice vote, 3-to-0.
3. Review of City Code 435-9 Loud and Unnecessary Noise
City Administrator Matt Wolf stated that a complaint was received from a resident regarding
construction activity occurring at The Bluffs development. According to the resident, heavy
equipment began operating before 7:00 a.m., which is not allowed per the City’s noise
ordinance 435-9. City staff contacted the contractor about the complaint and advised that
construction activity may not begin before 7:00 a.m. The development team was also notified
of the applicable start time. In addition to requesting enforcement of the existing 7:00 a.m.
start time, the resident asked the city to consider amending its noise ordinance to reduce the
permitted time for construction activity from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Construction projects are
often subject to strict schedules, weather-related delays, contractual deadlines, and potential
financial penalties for failing to complete work on time. Wisconsin’s limited construction season
may also require contractors to work extended hours when weather and site conditions are
favorable. The city has experienced these circumstances on several municipal projects. Staff
have received prior complaints regarding contractors beginning work before the permitted 7:00
a.m. start time and are not aware of any similar complaints regarding the 10:00 p.m. end time.
With the residents’ request to amend the end time to 7:00 p.m., it would limit the contractor’s
ability to respond to weather delays, complete time-sensitive work, or maintain project
schedules. Committee Chair Hintz believes this should be addressed on holidays and weekends
as well and would like to see a 9:00 p.m. end time. Committee member Ruona asked if this was
being considered for all construction projects, including indoor projects. She also stated that
the summer months are too short and crews need to get work done when they can. She did not
see an issue with construction crews working indoors until 10:00 p.m. if needed. Committee
member Otwell thought that a 9:00 p.m. end time would be good but does not believe the city
should change an ordinance like this based on only one or two complaints. She takes no issue
with revisiting this again if complaints continue to come in to staff.
Committee member Ruona motioned to approve keeping City Code 435-9 Loud and
Unnecessary Noise as is. Committee member Otwell seconded the motion. There was no
further discussion on the motion. Motion passed unanimously by a voice vote, 3-to-0.
4. Two Rivers Restaurant (117 Broad Street)
a. Handicap Ramp
b. Dumpster Request
City Administrator Matt Wolf presented concerns from Two Rivers Restaurant at 117 Broad
Street regarding their handicap ramp and dumpster enclosure. Two Rivers requested
permission from the mayor to utilize a third dumpster during the summer months. Under City
Code, any additional dumpster(s) must also be screened and incorporated into an enclosure
consistent with the existing structure. As part of the December 13, 2021, approved business
expansion, the Plan Commission required that all garbage, rubbish, and recycling containers be
stored within a screened enclosure. To accommodate the business, the city authorized
placement of a dumpster enclosure within the Front Street right-of-way, which resulted in the
loss of one public parking space. Since the enclosure was installed, staff have experienced
multiple issues with the enclosure being left open and trash being placed outside of it. After
repeated attempts to resolve the issues through discussions and emails with the owners, a
formal letter was issued on September 6, 2024, advising that the arrangement could be
terminated if compliance did not improve. With the addition of a third dumpster, the city would
lose another public parking space. Regarding the handicap ramp, the site plan that was
submitted in 2021 showed an accessible sidewalk extending along the front of the parking stalls
on Front Street before terminating at a curb ramp located beyond the last parking stall.
However, during construction, the city’s building inspector found that the ramp was instead
being constructed to terminate directly into the middle of two existing parking stalls. This issue
was discovered on the morning the concrete was scheduled to be poured. At that point,
requiring the contractor to remove and reconstruct the forms would have resulted in significant
additional cost and potentially delayed completion of the project. Because the existing
accessible ramp terminates within two parking stalls, the ramp becomes inaccessible whenever
vehicles are parked in those spaces. After a brief discussion, there was no motion, but it was
decided that Two Rivers knew they would be expanding their deck space and should have
included calculations in the current enclosure to accommodate the extra trash. The
committee decided not to allow an extra dumpster to take up another parking stall.
Committee member Ruona motioned to shift the handicap parking stalls to the end of the
handicap ramp to include two handicap parking stalls and a loading/unloading area.
Committee member Otwell seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously by a voice
vote, 3-0.
5. Update to 1054/154 Wacota Street
City Administrator Matt Wolf briefly reviewed prior property-maintenance issues with this
address. Wolf informed the committee that Cedar Corporation has completed the land survey,
which identifies the property lines, adjacent right-of-way, existing buildings, and other relevant
boundary information surrounding the property. With these boundaries now established, staff
can more accurately determine which materials, equipment, and other items are located on
private property and which are encroaching upon city-owned property or the public right-of-
way. The overall condition of the property remains relatively unchanged. The noticeable
change is that several items located near the front of the property have been moved and
stacked into piles. While some of the materials have been consolidated, the underlying
property-maintenance concerns have not been resolved, and the property is still not in
compliance with the city’s prior notices and deadlines.
After a brief discussion, there was no motion on this item, and the committee recommended
tabling any further discussion until after the Municipal Court trial is completed.
6. Other Business:
a. Discuss Drafting an Ordinance for E-Bikes, Scooters, and Electronic Motorcycles
Chief Michaels discussed some recent issues with E-Bikes, Scooters, and Electronic
Motorcycles. The city currently does not have an ordinance addressing these new forms of
transportation and is currently working on drafting an ordinance. Recently, River Falls
implemented an ordinance addressing these, along with many other cities, as everyone is
having issues with misuse and safety concerns.
There was no motion on this item, and the committee asked Chief Michaels to move
forward with drafting an ordinance for E-Bikes, Scooters, and Electronic Motorcycles, and
to bring it back to the committee for review once it is completed.
7. Adjournment: Committee Member Otwell made a motion to adjourn the meeting, seconded
by Committee Member Ruona. Motion passed unanimously (3-to-0); meeting adjourned at
5:44 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Rashel Temmers

2 445 Court Street – Assisted Living Facility Approval
a. Resolution 34-26 Approving the Site Plan Review for the Assisted Living
Development at 445 Court Street
b. Resolution 35-26 Approving a Conditional Use Permit for an Assisted Living
Facility at 445 Court Street
City Administrator Matt Wolf provided an overview of the proposed Assisted Living
Facility located at 445 Court Street. Nottingham Construction submitted a
conditional use permit application and site plan for a new assisted living facility at
this location. The property was previously operated as a sanatorium and daycare
before the vacant facility was demolished in 2023. On August 4, 2025, the Plan
Commission reviewed the Concept Plan for 445 Court Street and forwarded it to the
City Council for approval on August 11, 2025. Since that review, the developer has
added parking, revised the layout, and included additional stormwater drainage and
accessibility features. The revised plan consists of 59 total units: 17 Studio units, 34
1-bedroom units, and 8 2-bedroom units. The Plan Commission held the required
public hearing on July 8, 2026. Following the public hearing and review of the
submitted materials, the Plan Commission recommended approval of both the
conditional use permit resolution and site plan resolution to the City Council by a
vote of 4-0. Based on the submitted materials, the proposed assisted living facility
meets the applicable dimensional, parking, landscaping, architectural, and impervious
surface standards reviewed.
a. Ruona/Otwell motioned to approve Resolution 34-26 Approving the Site
Plan Review for the Assisted Living Development at 445 Court Street.
Alderperson Hintz thanked Wolf for including the comments from the Plan
Commission meeting. Hintz’s biggest concern was the stormwater drainage.
Alderperson Otwell asked if the site plan for drainage would protect the new
retaining wall at Peacock Ridge. Alan stated that this issue has been
addressed. There was no further discussion on the motion. Motion passed
without a negative voice vote.
b. Ruona/Hintz motioned to approve Resolution 35-26 Approving a
Conditional Use Permit for an Assisted Living Facility at 445 Court Street.
There was no discussion on the motion. Motion passed without a negative
voice vote.
3. Approval of Law Enforcement Officer Reimbursement Agreement between the City
of Prescott and Zoe Nawrot
Chief Michaels provided information regarding the Reimbursement Agreement
between the City of Prescott and Zoe Nawrot. The city currently has one Police
Officer vacancy following the departure of Officer Blue. In 2023, the Council
approved the use of Law Enforcement Reimbursement Agreements to sponsor
candidates through basic law enforcement training. A sponsored candidate is paid to
complete basic training at the city's expense, and in return, commits to 36 months of
employment. If the candidate leaves before completing the 36-month commitment,
the candidate must reimburse the city for the expenses related to the background
investigation, medical, psychiatric, drug-screening, and other employment-related
examinations, uniforms and equipment issued by the city, training expenses, and
salary paid to others during Basic Law Enforcement Training and Field Training
sessions. The reimbursement rate is based on the candidate’s months of service to the
city along with other criteria. Chief Michaels stated that the department has had
success with this agreement. The city has already sponsored two officers who
completed the program and remain employed with the city. Hintz/Ruona motioned
to approve the Law Enforcement Officer Reimbursement Agreement between
the City of Prescott and Zoe Nawrot. Alderperson Sorenson asked whether Zoe
was from the area, and whether she had been able to review the agreement
through the online application. Chief stated that she is not from the area and
the agreement was not included in the online application. There was no further
discussion on the motion. Motion passed without a negative voice vote.
4. Resolution 36-26 Approving a Certified Survey Subdividing a Parcel in SW 14 of the
SW 14 of Section 3, Township 26N, Range 20W
City Administrator Matt Wolf provided background information for Resolution 36-
26. Ed Lucas, the property owner, submitted a preliminary certified survey map
(CSM). The CSM proposes dividing 1201 Pearl Street into two lots and combining
the western half with 501 Sunset Court. The CSM was prepared in October of 2024
but was not brought before Plan Commission or City Council because a planning
application was not submitted at that time. Staff have reviewed the CSM and did not
identify any changes to the applicable zoning regulations or other city requirements
that would affect the proposed land division. Both lots meet the minimum lot size
requirements for the R-1 district. Typically, land divisions within the Lower St.
Croix National Scenic Riverway (LSCR) require a conditional use permit for
residential purposes. However, the CSM includes conditions that a principal structure
already exists, and the buildable area is located outside of the LSCR, allowing a
residential structure to be permitted. Therefore, a conditional use permit is not
required. The Plan Commission met on July 8, 2026, and recommended approval to
the Council by a vote of 4-0. Ruona/Hintz motioned to approve Resolution 36-26
Approving a Certified Survey Subdividing a Parcel in SW 14 of the SW 14 of
Section 3, Township 26N, Range 20W. There was no discussion on the motion.
Motion passed without a negative voice vote.
5. Approval of Special Event Permit for A Confluence of Communities on Saturday,
August 8, 2026, from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm.
City Administrator Matt Wolf presented information regarding the Confluence of the
Communities event, which will be held on August 8, 2026, at Freedom Park from
9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The event will be open to the public and will include food
trucks, vendors, performances, and cultural programming. Performances will include
the Ojibwe Drum Group, LDF Drum Group-Tomahawk Circle, traditional Ojibwe
and Dakota dancers, and the Dakota Drum Group-Imnizaska. Freedom Park Director
Linda Shenk provided an event layout and asked if the city could provide needed
supplies such as traffic cones and extension cords. The city will provide two extra
porta-potties. Event organizers will be responsible for implementing the traffic
control plan and providing letters to neighborhood residents notifying them of the
event. Jared Schmitz provided a proposed parking layout for the event. Alderperson
Otwell stated they would have to discuss the size of the traffic/parking signs. Jared
stated that the signs will be 24x24 inches. Ruona/Otwell motioned to approve the
Special Event Permit for A Confluence of Communities on Saturday, August 8,
2026, from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. There was no discussion on the motion.
Motion passed without a negative voice vote.
6. Resolution 37-26 Approving an Agreement with Cedar Corporation for Professional
Design Engineering Services for the Coulee River Trails Phase 1 Segment 2 – Walnut
Circle to Magee Park Trail Connection
City Administrator Matt Wolf provided an overview of the project, including costs
and financing for design engineering services. The city previously approved the
preliminary plat, road plans, and development agreement for the Walnut Circle
subdivision. This subdivision dedicated 23.9 acres to the public for park purposes.
As part of the agreement, the city is responsible for constructing a trail connection
between Walnut Circle and Magee Park. The city entered into a grant agreement with
the Friends of Freedom Park/Coulee River Trails for $100,000, with an additional
commitment to raise $40,000 to complete the project. Cedar Corporation submitted a
proposal to provide professional design engineering services for the Coulee River
Trails Phase 1, Segment 2 project. The project would create a 0.24-mile accessible
trail connection from the Walnut Circle development to Magee Park. The proposed
scope of services includes topographic survey, photo documentation, right-of-way
verification, preliminary design, staff/committee/Council meetings, final design
documents, opinion of probable costs, and permitting services. The design services
will allow the city to move the project from the concept plan stage to construction-
ready documents. The design proposal is a lump sum fee not to exceed $18,150.
Greg Adams from Cedar Corp. reviewed the project timeline and anticipated
completing the topographic field survey in July of 2026, preliminary design
engineering in August 2026, and final design engineering in September/October
2026, keeping the project moving toward potential construction in 2027.
Ruona/Otwell motioned to approve Resolution 37-26 Approving an Agreement
with Cedar Corporation for Professional Design Engineering Services for the
Coulee River Trails Phase 1 Segment 2 – Walnut Circle to Magee Park Trail
Connection. There was no discussion on the motion. Motion passed without a
negative voice vote.
7. Resolution 38-26 Approving an Agreement with Cedar Corporation for Concept
Planning Services for the Police, Library, and City Hall Facilities
City Administrator Matt Wolf provided an overview of an updated facilities needs
concept plan. In January of 2024, Cedar Corporation completed a comprehensive
Municipal Facilities Needs Assessment for the City of Prescott. The assessment
evaluated the current conditions and future needs of the Police, Fire, EMS, City Hall,
and Library facilities and identified opportunities for improvements to enhance
service delivery and operational efficiencies. On August 12, 2024, the Council
approved concept planning for a central Public Safety building that would house all
municipal departments. On July 28, 2025, the Council held a workshop to evaluate
the concept planning. The concept required a 5-acre site. On May 27, 2026, the
Council reviewed potential next steps, including limited options for a 5-acre site and
the Fire Department’s desire to remain at its current location. The Council decided to
consider splitting the projects, keeping Fire and EMS at their current location on
Flora Street and keeping the City Hall, Library, and Police Department at their
current locations in a shared facility. The agreement with Cedar Corporation would
include developing a conceptual design; reviewing opportunities for cost savings
through reuse, adaptability, and renovation; preparing a general site layout; updating
opinions of construction costs; and providing a final recommendation and
presentation of the updated plans. Cory Scheidler from Cedar Corporation spoke
regarding the revised concept plans. The current space needs will be reevaluated
based on the needs of the groups included in the proposed facility to develop a
solution that fits the current City Hall/Police Department site. Alderperson Hintz
stated that we need to make sure the Cable Department will be included. Cory stated
that this was the beginning stage of the process and that discussions would take place
with all departments. Alderperson Otwell stated that she was under the impression
that all departments would be included in the new facility building because of shared
facility needs. She also asked what would happen to Public Works, since the
department has requested the fire department building to provide additional space.
Wolf stated that at the May 27, 2026, Council meeting, the Council voted in favor of
splitting the departments and allowing the fire department to remain on Flora Street.
Regarding Public Works’ needs, money has been set aside to repair the fire
department building, and that funding could be used to add additional storage at the
current Public Works site. Otwell asked if the current City Hall would be demolished
due to its inadequate basement and storage space. Wolf stated that the current City
Hall building has a solid foundation and structure and was never part of the plan to
demolish it. Ruona/Sorenson motioned to approve Resolution 38-26 Approving
an Agreement with Cedar Corporation for Concept Planning Services for the
Police, Library, and City Hall Facilities. There was no further discussion on the
motion. Mayor Gerke called for a roll-call vote; Ruona – yes, Otwell – yes,
Hintz – yes, and Sorenson – yes. Motion passed without a negative voice vote.
8. Resolution 39-26 Reaffirming the Incorporation, Continued Existence, and
Operational Status of the Housing Authority of the City of Prescott, WI and its
Official Office Address
City Administrator Matt Wolf reviewed a request from the Prescott Housing
Authority for a Resolution reaffirming its date of incorporation. The Prescott
Housing Authority is required to maintain an active System for Award Management
(SAM) account to continue receiving HUD and Rural Development subsidy funding.
The Housing Authority’s SAM account has been inactive for an extended period, and
HUD is requiring updated documentation to correct the issue. HUD is requesting
formal documentation verifying the legal existence of the Housing Authority,
including its legal name, incorporation or formation information, and current address.
The City of Prescott was unable to locate documentation from the Housing
Authority’s creation in 1978. The proposed resolution would reaffirm that the
Housing Authority of the City of Prescott, WI was incorporated in 1978 and
continues to legally exist and operate as an active public body corporate and politic
under Wisconsin law. Adopting this resolution will provide the Housing Authority
with the formal municipal documentation needed to assist with reactivating its SAM
account and maintaining eligibility for HUD and Rural Development subsidy
funding. Alderperson Ruona asked whether the Housing Authority receives state or
federal money. Wolf stated that the Housing Authority works with HUD and
receives a certain amount of subsidies based on income levels. The housing is
specifically for seniors or disabled persons and is subject to income restrictions.
Ruona asked if this was a reactivation process because the account had been inactive.
Wolf stated that, to his understanding, the Housing Authority had remained active but
for whatever reason, the SAM account was not reapplied for or reactivated.
Following a change in management, the SAM number was lost, and the Housing
Authority is now attempting to reactivate the account. Sorenson/Hintz motioned to
approve Resolution 39-26 Reaffirming the Incorporation, Continued Existence,
and Operational Status of the Housing Authority of the City of Prescott, WI and
its Official Office Address. There was no discussion on the motion. Motion
passed without a negative voice vote.
9. Approval of Plan Commission to Hold a Public Hearing on Proposed Amendments to
Chapter 635-Zoning on Monday, August 3, 2026, at 6:00 PM
City Administrator Matt Wolf reviewed the proposed amendments to Chapter 635-
Zoning of the City Code. The Plan Commission reviewed the conditional uses
currently identified in Chapter 635. Under Wisconsin law, when a use is listed as a
conditional use within a zoning district, the ordinance recognizes that the use is
generally appropriate for that district. As a result, an application for a conditional use
permit must be approved if the applicant demonstrates compliance with the standards
and conditions established by the zoning ordinance. The permit may be denied if the
applicant fails to meet those standards or conditions. Based on its review, the Plan
Commission recommended the following amendments to Chapter 635-Zoning: C-1
Central Commercial – remove large-scale solar farms as a conditional use; I-1 Light
Industrial – Remove large-scale solar farms as a conditional use; I-2 Heavy Industrial
– remove airports, airstrips, and landing fields, railroads and railroad facilities, and
large-scale solar farms as conditional uses; I-3 Mixed Industrial – remove large-scale
solar farms as a conditional use; R-5 Single-Family Residential – add accessory
dwelling units (AUDs) as a conditional use. Because these amendments modify the
city’s zoning ordinance, Wisconsin law requires a public hearing following
publication of a Class 2 Notice. The Plan Commission reviewed the proposed
amendments to confirm they reflect the commission's direction. During the review, it
was noted that the Accessory Uses section within each residential zoning district
contains inaccurate information following the 2023 amendments. The Plan
Commission requested that the R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, and R-5 zoning districts be
amended to remove the inaccurate language and replace it with: Accessory Uses and
Structures – In accordance with Article X. Article X of the City Code includes
Section 635-87, Accessory Uses or Structures, which establishes the number of
accessory buildings permitted on residential properties within the City of Prescott.
Ruona/Otwell motioned to approve the Plan Commission to Hold a Public
Hearing on Proposed Amendments to Chapter 635-Zoning on Monday, August
3, 2026, at 6:00 PM. There was no discussion on the motion. Motion passed
without a negative voice vote.

Parks and Public Works Committee Meeting Minutes
July 20th, 2026
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a meeting of the Parks and Public Works
Committee was held July 20th, 2026, Municipal Building, 800 Borner Street, Prescott,
Wisconsin, 54021. The meeting was called to order at 5:00 PM.
Committee Present: Dar Hintz, Lindsey Sorenson
Committee Absent: Ben Bettis
Staff Present: City Administrator Matt Wolf, City Planner Luke Wiese
Others Present: Megan Langer of Langer Family Properties, Jared Schmitz of Coulee River
Trails
1. Approve Minutes for June 15th, 2026
Hintz motioned to approve the minutes for June 15th. Sorenson seconded; motion
passed without a negative voice (2-0).
2. Discussion on Alley Improvements behind Broad Street between Cherry Street
and Orange Street.
City Administrator Wolf provided an update on potential alley and stormwater
improvements behind Broad Street between Cherry Street and Orange Street. At the
previous Parks and Public Works Committee meeting, connecting to the existing storm
inlet near Circle K was discussed as a possible option. However, the inlet is privately owned
by Circle K, the City does not appear to have an easement for the system, and its capacity
is unknown.
Cedar Corporation recommended designing a coordinated public stormwater and alley
improvement project. The proposed improvements would include an area inlet near 216
Broad Street, a potential inlet near 220 Broad Street, extension of the storm sewer within
the alley, and installation of a mountable curb along the west side of the alley.
Megan Langer of Langer Family Properties stated that she would like to move forward
quickly and hopes to have a site plan ready for the redevelopment of 216 Broad Street by
September.
The public improvements would need to be coordinated with the redevelopment project.
Cedar Corporation provided an estimated cost of $8,700 for surveying, design, and
construction staking.
Hintz motioned to forward the Cedar Corporation proposal for the design of alley
improvements behind Broad Street between Cherry Street and Orange Street to
Council for approval. Sorenson seconded; motion passed without a negative voice (2-
0).
3. Magee Park Updates
City Administrator Wolf presented information regarding the proposed Magee Park rules
sign and the future trail connection between Walnut Circle and Magee Park. The proposed
park rules include hours of 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., cleaning up after use, prohibiting
alcohol and glass, limiting fires to designated grills or fire rings, limiting smoking to parking
areas, requiring pets to remain on leads, and prohibiting unauthorized motorized vehicles
on trails.
Commissioner Hintz asked how temporary restrictions, such as a burn ban during drought
conditions, would be handled. Wolf stated that the City would address those situations as
needed, including temporarily closing or marking off the fire ring during a burn ban.
City Administrator Wolf also discussed the intermittent stream crossing along the
proposed Walnut Circle trail connection. The City must determine whether to construct a
permanent at-grade crossing or leave the crossing unimproved and reserve available
funding for a potential pedestrian bridge in the future.
The Committee favored constructing an at-grade crossing rather than planning for a
pedestrian bridge. This would also allow the City to reserve future funding toward
eventually paving the trail connection between Walnut Circle and Magee Park.
Other Business
City Administrator Wolf presented a request from the Armstrong family to relocate their
memorial bench within Mercord Mill Park. The Committee directed staff to ask whether the
family would prefer to have the bench relocated near the non-motorized boat launch once
those improvements are completed. If not, the bench would be moved to the family’s
preferred location.
Commissioner Hintz motioned to adjourn. Sorenson seconded; motion passed
without a negative voice (2-0). The meeting was adjourned at 5:37 PM.
The next Parks & Public Works Committee will be August 17, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
Respectfully Submitted,
Luke Wiese, Planner

From: Matt Wolf, City Administrator
Date: July 23, 2026
Subject: Sign Approval for Riverfront Signs, Magee Park, and Updated Directory
Background
In 2022, the City approved a new, uniform design for signs located throughout City parks and trails.
As part of this initiative, the City selected a totem-style design for park identification signs. These
signs have since been installed at Jacques Park, Mercord Mill Park, Public Square Park, and Magee
Park.
As part of the Riverfront improvement projects, the City also approved the development of historical
interpretive signs to be placed along the riverfront. These signs are intended to provide information
about Prescott’s history and the role the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers played in the City’s
development. The City’s borrowing for the Riverfront Phase 2 project includes a remaining allocation
of $34,754 for the purchase and installation of these signs.
Additionally, during the first phase of the Riverfront project, the City installed a downtown directory
sign near the Prescott Courtesy Dock. The directory helps boaters and other riverfront visitors locate
businesses, restaurants, and other destinations within the downtown area.
Discussion
Graphic House, Inc., which the City has used for sign fabrication and updates since the new design
standards were approved in 2022, has provided quotes for the following signs:
1. Sunset Park - The City approved a budget of $98,000 in 2026 for improvements and renovations
at Sunset Park. Graphic House has provided a quote of $5,818 for the fabrication and installation
of a new totem-style park sign. A concept design for the sign is attached.
The sign would be funded through the approved Sunset Park project budget. The project
currently has an estimated remaining balance of $26,548.
2. Riverfront Historic Signs – The City has been working with the Prescott Historical Society to
develop four historical interpretive signs to be installed along the riverfront. The signs will
highlight Prescott’s history and its connection to the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers.
Graphic House has provided a total quote of $8,613.36 for the four signs with installation. The
signs would be funded through the Riverfront Phase 2 project budget. Concept designs for each
sign are attached and include the following:
a. A Town Connected by Rail – Describes Prescott’s history with the railroad.
b. When Timber Ruled the Water – Describes the City’s connection to the timber industry
during the 1800s.
c. Spanning the St. Croix – Describes the history of vehicular bridges connecting Prescott
across the St. Croix River.
d. Full Steam Ahead – Describes the City’s history with ferries and steamboats.
3. Downtown Directory – The final proposed sign would replace the existing directory map located
near the Prescott Courtesy Dock. The directory would be updated to reflect changes to
downtown restaurants, shops, and other businesses since the current sign was installed in 2023.
Graphic House has provided a quote of $570.02 for the updated directory sign. This expense
would be funded through the 2026 Parks budget.
Recommendation
Consider Approval of Resolution 40-26 Approving the Purchase and Installation of Park, Riverfront
Historical, and Downtown Directory Signs by Graphic House, Inc.

Subject: Proposal for CDL Licensing Agreement and Employee Contract
Background
The cost currently for a CDL Agreement is between $2,000 and $2,500. As our operations
rely on certified drivers to support snow plowing, dirt hauling and summer projects, it is
essential that we establish a structured and equitable policy to support employees in obtaining
their CDL while also protecting the organization’s investment.
The CDL Agreement was approved by Council at the July 14, 2025 meeting allowing us to
provide Public Works staff:
1. Financial Support: The City would cover the cost of CDL training and certification,
including any necessary testing and associated fees.
2. Ensure Retention: Employees receiving CDL support would be required to commit to a
defined period of continued employment, 36 months following certification.
3. Include Reimbursement Terms: Employees who leave voluntarily or are terminated for
cause before completing the agreed period would be obligated to repay the pro-rated
cost of the training.
4. Ensure Compliance: The agreement would include provisions requiring employees to
maintain their CDL in good standing, comply with all regulatory and company
requirements (e.g., health screenings, drug tests), and notify HR of any status changes.
Discussion
Our most recent Public Works employee is Ryder Doyle and this agreement would be between
the City and him. In total the training cost is $2,044 and this agreement would be for 36
months after completion of the training.
Recommendation
Approve the CDL Certification Agreement between the City of Prescott and Public Works

Subject: Coulee River Trails Request for Skills Park Modifications and Release of Funds
Background

agreement also establishes responsibilities for the design, construction, inspection, and maintenance
of the trails and technical features.
Under the agreement, Coulee River Trails provides technical support related to the location and
design of trail features, supervises volunteers during construction, and is responsible for maintaining
non-ADA trails placed on City property. Proposed technical features and trail alignment changes must
conform to approved designs and applicable International Mountain Bike Association guidelines.
The City is responsible for reviewing and approving design and implementation plans, approving
technical feature designs and construction schedules, and purchasing materials when authorized by
the Common Council.
Coulee River Trails currently has $8,133 remaining in funding out of the original $50,000 previously
set aside by the City for trail-related improvements in 2021. Coulee River Trails is requesting that the
City release these funds to support modifications to the mountain bike skills course at Magee Park.
Discussion
Coulee River Trails is proposing improvements to the existing mountain bike skills course and the
construction of a new trail spur connecting the existing single-track trail to the skills course. The
proposed improvements are intended to provide additional challenges for experienced riders while
also creating more clearly defined routes for beginner and intermediate users.
Coulee River Trails has worked with trail designer Tim Wegner to prepare a preliminary concept for
the proposed improvements. Mr. Wegner has been scheduled to complete approximately 100 hours
of work in August, primarily involving the creation of a black trail. The proposed extension would
travel around the perimeter of the skills area, ascend the existing hill, and descend back into the skills
course near the blue trailhead.
Coulee River Trails has identified three primary reasons for completing the improvements:
1. Reduced Maintenance Requirements
The existing skills course requires significant volunteer time to control weeds, remove rocks and
debris, and maintain the individual riding features. The proposed design would create narrower
and more clearly defined riding tracks. Increased and concentrated trail use may help suppress
weed growth and reduce the amount of ongoing maintenance required.
2. Increased Use and Accessibility
The current skills course does not fully utilize the size or terrain of the available area. The
proposed design would establish separate beginner, intermediate, and advanced routes,
allowing the course to serve a broader range of riders and skill levels.
Coulee River Trails volunteers would construct the beginner and intermediate tracks, while Mr.
Wegner would primarily complete the advanced black trail extension.
3. Improved Appearance
The proposed project would create more defined riding routes and provide opportunities to
landscape unused areas between the trails with rain gardens, trees, or other vegetation. These
improvements could make the course appear more integrated with the rest of Magee Park while
also reducing erosion and long-term maintenance needs.
Proposed Improvements
The proposed project may include the following elements:
• Creation of an advanced black trail around the perimeter of the skills course;
• Construction of beginner and intermediate riding tracks by Coulee River Trails volunteers;
• Construction of a new trail spur connecting the existing single-track trail to the skills course;
• Placement of approximately 400 cubic yards of fill to construct primarily earthen trail
features;
• Installation of a cedar fence between the paved trail and the mountain bike skills course;
• Landscaping of unused areas with rain gardens, trees, or other appropriate vegetation; and
• Future construction of wooden trail overpasses (see attached pictures), potentially beginning
in spring 2027.
Coulee River Trails has received permission from Landmark Conservancy to harvest wood from Pine
Coulee for the proposed cedar fence. Any tree cutting, material removal, or construction on City
property would remain subject to City approval and the requirements of the existing Memorandum
of Understanding.
The agreement requires Coulee River Trails to submit proposed trail alignment changes to the City
for review and approval. It also requires coordination with the Public Works Director regarding work
schedules and construction activities.
The final layout, construction specifications, drainage measures, landscaping plan, equipment use,
and future wooden features should be reviewed by City staff before construction. Coulee River Trails
volunteers participating in the project must also comply with the volunteer waiver, insurance,
supervision, and safety requirements established in the Memorandum of Understanding.
Funding
Coulee River Trails is requesting the release of the remaining $8,133 previously set aside by the City
for trail improvements.
The funding would be used for eligible project expenses associated with the mountain bike skills
course improvements, which may include professional trail-building services, equipment rental, fill
material, fencing materials, landscaping, drainage improvements, and other approved construction
materials.
The Memorandum of Understanding provides that the City may purchase materials for approved
technical features when authorized by the Common Council. It also requires funding requests
associated with the development, design, maintenance, or marketing of trails on City property to be
approved by the City Administrator, Public Works Director, or Common Council.
Any expenditures will need to be supported by invoices or other appropriate documentation and
should be limited to costs directly associated with the approved improvements. Any project costs
exceeding the available $8,133 would remain the responsibility of Coulee River Trails.

Subject: Alley Storm Sewer Improvements
Background
The City has been working with Megan Langer regarding the proposed redevelopment of 216 Broad
Street and the need to identify an appropriate stormwater management solution for the property.
The site is adjacent to the City-owned alley located between Broad Street and Dakota Street,
extending from Cherry Street to Orange Street.
City staff previously met with Greg Adams of Cedar Corporation to review drainage conditions in the
alley and discuss potential improvements that could address stormwater runoff from the alley and
adjoining properties.
An existing storm drain near the Circle K property is privately owned by Circle K. The City does not
appear to have an easement for the drainage system, and its design and available capacity are
unknown. Connecting to the privately owned system would require Circle K’s approval and may not
provide a practical long-term stormwater solution.
Following the Parks and Public Works Committee’s previous discussion, Cedar Corporation prepared
a professional services agreement for the design of coordinated alley and storm sewer
improvements.
Discussion
The proposed project would evaluate and design public storm sewer and alley improvements that
could include:
• An area storm inlet near the 216 Broad Street property;
• A potential storm area inlet near the adjoining 220 Broad Street property;
• Extension of the public storm sewer through the alley;
• Alley grading and drainage improvements; and
• Installation of a mountable curb along the west side of the alley.
The coordinated project would improve drainage within the City-owned alley while also allowing the
proposed stormwater system serving 216 Broad Street, and potentially 220 Broad Street, to connect
to a public storm sewer system.
Cedar Corporation’s proposed scope of services includes a topographic survey, utility-locate
coordination, photo documentation, right-of-way verification, preliminary and final design, meetings
with City staff and governing bodies, construction plans, alley grading plans, erosion-control and
restoration plans, and an opinion of probable construction costs.
The professional services agreement covers the following costs:
Engineering Service Cost
• Topographic field survey $2,100
• Parcel and right-of-way research $200
• Preliminary design engineering $1,000
• Final design engineering $4,000
• Construction staking $1,400
Total Not-to-Exceed Cost $8,700
The agreement establishes a lump-sum, not-to-exceed fee of $8,700 for the surveying, design, and
construction-staking services. Any work outside the identified scope would require additional
authorization.
Cedar anticipates completing the topographic survey and preliminary design in August 2026, with
final design scheduled for completion by August 14, 2026, subject to the City issuing a notice to
proceed.
The proposal does not include bidding, contract administration, construction oversight, easement
preparation, property acquisition, permit fees, or the labor, materials, and equipment needed to
construct the improvements. These costs would need to be considered separately after the design is
completed and a more detailed construction estimate is available.
Cost Sharing and Funding
Because the proposed design would benefit the City-owned alley and public storm sewer system, the
redevelopment of 216 Broad Street, and the adjoining 220 Broad Street property, staff previously
discussed dividing the $8,700 engineering cost equally among the three benefiting parties:
Participating Party Proposed Share
• City of Prescott $2,900
• Owner of 216 Broad Street $2,900
• Owner of 220 Broad Street $2,900
Total $8,700
The City’s share would be funded from the Storm Sewer Fund because the project involves
evaluating and designing improvements to the public storm sewer system and drainage within a City-
owned alley. Because the professional services agreement with Cedar Corporation would be
executed by the City, the City would initially pay the full $8,700 and then seek reimbursement from
the participating property owners for their respective shares.
The owner of 216 Broad Street has agreed to participate in the cost-sharing arrangement.
Participation by the owner of 220 Broad Street remains under review. If the owner of 220 Broad
Street does not participate, the City’s net cost would increase from $2,900 to $5,800 after receiving
reimbursement from the owner of 216 Broad Street.
The allocation of any future construction costs would be determined separately after the design is
completed and a more detailed construction cost estimate is available.
